Dollar pares losses against euro after Fed forecast

26 January, 2012 - Reuters

NEW YORK, Jan 25 (Reuters) - The dollar pared losses against the euro on Wednesday after the U.S. Federal Reserve took the historic step of setting an inflation target.

The 2 percent target moves the Fed in line with many of the world's other major central banks.

The euro last traded at $1.3054, up 0.2 percent but down from around $1.3084 prior the announcement.

The euro earlier hit a near 5-week high of $1.3102 after the Fed said it would keep rates untra-low until at least late 2014, later than many investors expected.
